Synopsis

A practical, full-color guide with videos, Practical Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography, 2nd Edition, by Drs. David Sidebotham, Alan F. Merry, Malcolm E. Leggett, and Mark L. Edwards, will help improve your diagnosis and monitoring of perioperative cardiac patients. Reflecting five years of new research and clinical data in TEE, the book captures the latest developments in the field, and new chapters on epiaortic and 3D echocardiography, echocardiography in the ICU, and echocardiography for adult congenital heart disease have been added. The videos on DVD demonstrate normal and pathologic findings in real time. The result is an outstanding tool for certification preparation and clinical practice.

• Find the answers you need quickly with handy hints highlighted in text boxes, key points, and numerous line drawings.
• Prepare for board certification by reviewing slides of key points that are included on the DVD.

• Improve your ability to recognize abnormalities in TEE with extensive videos of both normal and pathologic findings.

About this title

About the Author

Alan Merry is a practising cardiac anaesthetist, whose research focuses on safety, and in particular, on reducing error, in anaesthesia. He was the co-founder and co-chair of the New Zealand Medical Law Reform Group, which contributed to the passing of the Crimes Amendment Act 1997 which redefined the threshold for criminal prosecution arising from negligently caused harm in New Zealand. He is author of a number of papers in medical and legal journals. He has developed a computer-based systems approach to reducing drug administration in anaesthesia (the IDAS) which applies many of the principles discussed in this book, and which is in use in several Auckland hospitals.

Review

"This text contains a well-focused, succinctly presented, and beautifully illustrated summary of the current state of perioperative transesophageal echocardiography. This reviewer highly recommends it to those preparing to enter the field as well as experienced users of transesophageal echocardiography." Anesthesia & Analgesia (review of previous edition)
